You ain't got no talent son get out of here.
Hey I got a question: in your time, how many jokes have you encountered regarding the fact that "pianist" sounds so much like "penis"? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Wark! |
1. I bought a tuner. 2. I started small with notes C, D, E and tried to sing them. 3. I tested if I hit the right pitch. 4. After learning and able to sing any note at will, I got some sheet music and sightread. I tried to sing the notes out loud. 5. After you get good at that, listen to some songs, start out with the basics, i.e. Mary Had A Little Lamb and try to transpose the piece into notes. 6. Once you get good at the easy pieces, start listening to harder pieces and try to transpose them. Eventually, you'll get good and you'll be able to hear music in your head by just looking at sheet music and able to see sheet music by listening to just music. :P I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
What should I play right now?
FELIPE NO |
You might not know the answer to this, but do you know of any other composer that used those lower notes other then Bartok? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Either that, or the Khatchaturian Piano Concerto. Double Post: Also, does anyone know if there was a piano made that could accomadate that extremely high chord that Scriabin has in his 7th Sonata? The chord that literally goes off the keyboard. Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's so much a pianist needs to know, I wouldn't know where to begin. Really, get a teacher.
Have you played any of Brahms's Intermezzi/KlavierstĂĽcke? I've recently rediscovered those and they are lovely. I'll definitely look into those when I'm done with my current programme.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
No, the Borsendorfer only has the extra notes in the bass. I can't remember the brand of piano which has the higher notes - it begins with S. There's another method to hit those notes - have a toy piano on the music stand so it's conveniently close to you when the chord comes, or use a synth.
How ya doing, buddy?

Can anyone play Pachelbel Cannon in D?
How long did it take you to learn that song? Can you play it well? How ya doing, buddy? |
I've learned so many versions of Canon in D I can't remember how many there are. THere are very simplistic versions and then there are more complex versions. The actual original piano version isn't too tricky though.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I suppose both of those; it's just timing in general. Would practicing with a metronome regularly be a good idea at all? I find it quite hard to stay with those. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Dear sir,
I have a question for you. How long do you think it would take a person that doesn't know how to read music, but has played the piano by ear for years to learn how to? Thank you, ~Lady Miyomi~ FELIPE NO |
If you'd like to hear it for yourself. It was some time ago, though, and very little practise went into it (just went over it a couple times before recording it, so it was mostly sightreading). Please don't judge me on that.
Complex rhythms will become easier with practise. Remember anything can be slowed down and subdivided for practising purposes. Timing issues often have something to do with technique issues, though. Why do we all naturally tend to slow down when playing softly and to speed up when playing loudly? Because we don't produce sound the same way (using various degrees of strength and velocity). But no matter the intensity, your hands should be resting comfortably at the bottom of the keyboard on every note. I've seen this referred to as "fingerprint memory" in a great book I've read. Because feeling uncomfortable will definitely affect your timing, and that happens a lot when trying to play pianissimo for example, since we naturally don't "dare" to reach for the bottom of the keyboard. I could expand on this for hours, but these few ideas should be enough to get you started.
Now, knowing how to decipher music doesn't mean you'll be able to read it proficiently and sightread a piece on the spot. This takes months if not years of daily practise. How ya doing, buddy? |
I got a few questions,
1. How often should one practice per day/week? 2. Do you ever have a general perference for a Key signature? 3. What inspires you to continuosly practice a song? Cheers! How ya doing, buddy? |
If you want to be able to play much more complex stuff, I would suggest like once every other day. If you want to play the insane stuff, practice every day for 10 hours straight. 2. I am very partial to onces with lots of sharps or flats, preferrably minor. 3. A piece that I hear/sing/replay in my head that I want to play, and the satisfaction of having that realized. How ya doing, buddy? |
2. I don't know. Used to be C# minor, but now I have a thing for the splendid, luminous keys such as C# major (Granados Concert Allegro) or F# major (Chopin's Barcarolle). And when I improvise, I always seem to end up in G minor for some reason. 3. I end up loving most of the music I play, so that's enough to give me the ambition of playing it as well as I can, and therefore, practising my hardest. I've never gotten very far with pieces that bored me out of my mind (but there have been few instances). This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
How can you play a piece for more than a month and still find it interesting?
How ya doing, buddy? |
I am just starting to venture into this exciting realm which I had never considered. Like, play it so that every upbeat is accented, or certain harmonies are louder than other harmonies, or even the melody. Stuff like that. After having mastering a piece, you twist it up. Like, the 2nd movement of the moonlit sonata is a blast to play with erratic but comical rhythm and tempo. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I don't remember from your videos, but when you play the piano, do you bob your head up and down like a complete retard. Do you fake it?
Have you played Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin? How long did it take you to play it? Me - 4 years! =D What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |
When I'm jamming especially with others I'm bound to be bobbing head/body cause music is amazing and you just gotta get into it.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Another random question for you Pianists out there, who is your most respecteted pianist, and which one do you look up to the most?
Most amazing jew boots |
Hamelin, without a doubt.
He has amazing talent, and it appears that one of his goals in life is to revive and bring to the fore previously unknown or forgotten music, rather than show off how awesome he is at the popular songs that everyone always wants to hear. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
2. No. Well, yes, at some point I was kinda wondering if I should learn it, but I lost interest after sightreading it a few times and I don't think it's going to come back. And Rangel, t(-_-t) took the words right out of my mouth. Gotta add Sokolov and Radu Lupu, though, since they are gods to me as far as interpretation goes (especially Schubert). So is Arrau, but he's dead. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Those classical prodigies are amazing and watching them is insane but my favorite pianist and respected is Ben Folds his style and innovative ways of playing the piano are absolutely amazing. His aggressive playing and manners of improvising are also incredible.
